Ok everyone, that is $980 a night for a 2bdrm lock-off. Do you think that's what the sales people tell prospective buyers they can rent their units for if they buy??????? I'm guessing it is. :hysterical:

What I don't get is how does Starwood get those prices. I was looking a studio island view reservation and it was $690 per night in Maui. I'm surprised that more people don't know about redweek, etc... I could not imagine paying $690 per night so, the $420 seems like a bargain (not)...

Thanks for posting this deal Diane!

This is probably an good deal for non-SVO owners that absolutely have to stay at WPORV during a prime time and who also do not want any obligation to sit through a timeshare pitch.

Otherwise, current SVO owners also qualify for this deal (which also doesn't require sitting through a timeshare pitch):

Special Resort Offer: The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas - Exclusive Owner Offer - Rejuvenate

Stay for a week between April 11, 2008 and June 15, 2008 and enjoy an exclusive preview rate of $199 per night for a studio villa, $250 for a one-bedroom villa per night or $400 for a two-bedroom villa per night. For reservations, call 888.488.3535

Thanks again,

My pleasure, you're all so helpful to me in increasing my knowledge base and understanding of the "system".
